Have you ever invested in a program, teacher, product, course, book, etc….

What are you willing to give up or sacrifice to be successful?

Do you believe you have to give up something or sacrifice something in order to achieve success?

On a conscious level, you might not want to believe that (I mean, who does lol)

But on an unconscious level….

There might be a belief there.

A lot, lot, LOT of us grew up in a world where we observed people we loved struggled, sacrificed, and gave up things in order to achieve success.

They gave up their freedom, their time, their energy…

And so we may have picked up, from a young age, that sacrifice is required for success.

But….

What if it wasn’t?

What if that paradigm just simply got to be replaced by something… juicer? More fun?

How about….

🎊 Life gets  to be easy

🎊 Things get to be fun

🎊 Success is available simply because you exist

Doesn’t that feel… f*cking fantastic?!

Today’s episode is short, sweet, and powerful AF.

When I energetically birthed (lol) the Scottie Taylor Jr Success + Money + Mindset Podcast, I created it with the intent of each episode being short, sweet, no-fluff, and impactful.

The podcasts that have 1.5 hour long episodes are awesome – but just NOT for me. Too. Damn. LONG!

I MUCH prefer a 7-10 minute long episode that really shifts things up for me.

And that’s what I have for you in this episode!

Okay so, when I recorded this episode it was a rainy Monday (Monday’s are my CEO day to create content, be present, and charge up for the week)

And I'll be honest – I've been feeling a bit of dense energy lately -- anyone else feeling the same?

It’s like a heaviness or a dark cloud is over me, it’s hard to see the light or get out of it – and it’s just this feeling of…. BLEH.

As a spiritual entrepreneur, something I’ve become really, really good at is assessing my energy, and shifting as need be.

You may hear things like “calendar management” – but I’m actually really more interested in ENERGY management – 

Because I believe our ENERGY is more important to monitor than our calendar. I can have a PACKED calendar but feel so alive, or I can also have ONE meeting and be drained.

Your ENERGY is your frequency, your vibration, and how you show up in the world.

So, for anyone feeling dense energy lately, I wanted to highlight 10 Tips to help shift your energy! 

These are things I’m actively doing THIS WEEK, so feel free to steal and try them out!

This episode is one of those episodes that I feel like we ALL desperately NEED, but don’t always WANT.

It’s like the broccoli sitting at the table when the pizza is right next to it - we know it’s GOOD for us, but the pizza sounds ohhhh so much better LOL

The thing is, though, this episode is going to be so incredibly impactful when you understand this one thing.

Needy or Desperate energy is Universal Dream Repellent. 🙅 

When you feel needy or desperate, you emit the energetic vibration that is equal to the most powerful bug spray to keep your desires away.

The cool thing is, you already knew this, didn’t you?

You maybe wouldn’t have described it as “Bug Spray for your Desires” (🦟💨 lol) but you KNOW that needy energy pushes things away. 

Think of a time in your life when someone was being suuuuuuper needy with you. You just went on a first date. You enjoyed it! 

But they texted you over, and over, and over.

They kept saying things like “do you like me?!”

👎 You can feel it, can’t you? The repellant energy?

The same goes for sales.

Have you ever heard of “commission breath?”

It’s the idea that when you’re selling, you’re more motivated by getting PAID than by helping the person you’re working with.

💭 And here’s a quick story

A few years ago, I was engaging in a fairly large purchase, and the salesperson helping me was super nice at first!

When it got closer to me actually buying, and after they had spent a good amount of time working with me…

I started to get really needy energy from them.

❌ They weren’t willing to negotiate on my behalf.

❌ They texted me over and over to have me sign documents.

❌ They had swings in their emotions – up and down

And it was CLEAR that they had commission breath.

Now, I’m in sales. I GET IT. 

I am ALL about paying people when they help me.

But when someone has that needy, desperate energy….

It just makes me NOT want to work with them.

It has nothing to do with the value they provide.

Nothing to do with how hard they work for me.

✨ It’s all about the ENERGY ✨

When you understand this (which, you know on a deep level) – you can then begin to shift away from needy energy and into more abundant energy.

And the most amazing thing is that when you shift to more relaxed, calm, expectant and abundant energy…

YOUR SALES WILL GO UP 💸🤯

People LOVE working with other people who are confident and have an attitude of “I’m here to help, but I don’t NEED you”

Welcome back to another episode of the Scottie Taylor Jr, Success + Money + Mindset PODCAST!!

Last week, I dropped an episode as part of my Belief Shifting Series – with the intention to help ALL of you out there rewire any funky belief systems that may be holding you back.

And let’s recap.

A belief system is simply a pattern of thinking that, at some point in time, was valuable.

Unconscious mind only adopt beliefs that it believes are valuable (meaning, you’re not going to have a belief system that ONLY hurts you).

However, a lot of times, old belief systems (like, “I have to work hard to be successful” or “if I get to be successful, I’ll lose all my freedom”) keep us stuck in the same pattern of living – and in the same results.

And this is where frustration builds.

We DESIRE change.

But our unconscious mind isn’t on board (yet).

In Part 2 of the Belief Shifting series, we’re tackling the belief system…. I feel bad saying no to people.

For example, let’s say you’re a Financial Advisor and want to start working with people who have more money.

You try setting client minimums….

And then you meet someone who doesn’t meet your criteria, but you still take them on.

You say to yourself: “Ugh, but I really want to help them!”

And now you’re stuck – 

Do you hold your boundary and forsake this person who you CAN help?

Or do you take them on as a client and feel frustrated by your lack of progress?

I go deep into this belief system – and how to shift it – in this episode!

This is TOTALLY for you if you identify as a “people pleaser” or find yourself not wanting to be “selfish”

Ready to go?

Let’s dig into the latest episode of the Scottie Taylor Jr Success + Money + Mindset Podcast!

“It’s all mindset”

You hear that a LOT I’m sure, and while maybe you know it’s true on some level….

You might feel like you DO have a pretty good mindset. You’re positive, upbeat, optimistic.

You desire success.

You feel like you deserve success.

Yet….

Somewhere you’re stuck.

And, knowing that you CAN achieve success but haven’t yet is the most frustrating part.

So, what gives?

Unconscious mind does. Literally (lol).

Here are some things to understand foundationally:

Because of all of this, unconscious mind can create a lot of blocks for us on our road to success.

And that’s what sparked this series of podcast episodes where, together, we’ll work through some of the most common belief systems I see – and exactly how to shift them.

So instead of saying “It’s all mindset”, let’s say…

“It’s all unconscious programming you picked up when you were younger that, while it served a purpose at some point in time, it’s holding you back from your next level of success – and therefore we want to shift out of it”

(I think I need to work on my catch-phrase lol)

Ok! Excited yet?

Scottie

We are back back back again with another episode of the Scottie Taylor Jr - Success + Money + Mindset Podcast!! 

Today’s episode is ALL about hard work.

But I’m NOT going to talk about “hard work” in the way you might think.

In fact, I’m not going to encourage you to work less or not try so hard.

Instead, I’m going to share with you THREE things you MUST have in place before you use “hard work” to accomplish all of your goals.

The reason I created this episode?

I know what it’s like to be a new entrepreneur.

And I know what it’s like to grow up in a world where “hard work” is seen as the HOLY GRAIL.

In a world where the harder you work, the more successful you’re seen (and feel).

But, unfortunately, hard work ALONE isn’t the solution to a massively successful business.

But you probably already knew that already, right?

See, if hard work ALONE got people massive success, then the teachers and servers of the world would be making millions.

But that’s just not the case.

I’ve said this before and I continue to stand by it: hard work alone can get you going in business and help you hit the $100k - $150k mark  – But getting to $300k+?

Hard work ALONE won’t cut it.

Think about where you are right now in your business. 

How much money are you making, and how hard are you working? Like how many hours a day?

Let’s say you’re making $100k a year right now, and working 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week….

If you’re here, you probably know there’s a breaking point 

If you want to DOUBLE to $200k….

You can’t work TWICE as hard, right? (and you very likely don’t WANT to).

But….

And this is a big butt…

You WANT to keep working hard (at least most entrepreneurs do).

The reason?

When you’re an entrepreneur, there are a LOT of things outside of your control.

Virtually nothing is inside of your control, which can create a lot of stress.

But, there is ONE thing that is absolutely under your control.

How hard you work.

How many hours you put in, how determined you are, how much effort you exert.

And in a world of uncertainty, knowing that YOU can control something - namely, yourself - adds a level of “okay, I got this - I can do this!”

Now that we’ve laid the foundation, here’s where my message comes in.

Because hard work is within your control, a lot of entrepreneurs tell me that they are WILLING to work hard… to get to that next level.

But, if hard work ALONE can’t get you there, then what’s the missing ingredient?

In my newest podcast episode, I’m going to share with you 3 things you MUST have before you work hard in order for your “hard work” to reap results.

I am SO excited to hear what you think!
